It is Sunday morning, the boys actually slept in until 7-ish and I managed to get at least 7 hours sleep so I am feeling pretty fabulous! I woke up with the idea of baked beans, poached eggs and bacon all smothered in the green tomato, jalapeno and cilantro salsa I thought I made last night (must of been a dream because the raw ingredients were still sitting the fridge this morning!).
I wasn't the only one dreaming of breakfast- Max greets me with 'What happened to French toast- we haven't had that in like 35 years!' ( I love kids sense of time). I agreed, it had been a long time and the fact that we still had berries in the fridge made the breakfast choice all that more appealing- meaning I didn't have to pull out the food processor first!
Thick slices of day old bread, a lick of butter on each side then doused in a mix of milk, egg, cinnamon and a hint of orange juice before being lightly fried in more butter. There you have it, a crisp outer crust then cutting into a soft, creamy center piled high with fresh berries doused in maple syrup- it really did taste yummy!
Thanks Max, lets hope we don't have to wait another 35 years.....

Looks so good right now, I'm tempted to abandon the oatmeal or toast! But we'll have to wait for the weekend. What type of bread did you use, it looks good and thick so absorbed all that egg perfectly? Was it an Italian loaf?
CORRECT! Italian, day old loaf from Campagnola. Pop in an ask for a day old loaf- they have heaps!
